I have a new goal concerning my child's education. She has just completed her primary education and will now move on to the secondary level. I want to give her a smooth start, to do this I have to start collecting education materials and parts of the school uniforms as the child will be joining the secondary school early next year.

I have been using the money to meet my child's education needs. At one time my child had been sent home to collect school fees. If didn't have the transfers, I would have had to do a lot of casual work in tea plucking to sent her back. One of the children is picked up and taken to school by a school bus and that means I needed to always pay bus fare. This would have been extremely difficult for me without transfers. I consider myself very lucky and I thank GIveDirectly for this.

I expect to have improved my life because I will be getting income from farming activities that I am using the transfers to establish. By this time my child will be in school and will be studying well because my investments in farming and chickens keeping will be helping me to meet the educational needs.

Currently, I do not struggle too much to meet my family needs as I got regular transfers from GiveDirectly. These transfers have enabled me to do much in life which includes poultry farming which I didn't have before. Again, I have been able to pay school fees for my child. I am happy for these great achievements which I have made in life so far.

My new goal is to buy a dairy cow. With the money which I will receive in the next few months, I will save to buy a heifer which when it matures it will give birth. When it calves down I know I will no longer have to buy milk for using at home.

The previous transfer which I received from Give Directly, I invested part of it on buying some chicken. As we speak, I got twenty chicken and get to collect approximately 10 eggs a day. The earning which I get from selling these eggs I got to purchase food for the family. This has enabled me to not only cater to my family but also save me from the tedious daily hustles which were more strenuous. Thankyou Givedirectly.

In the next six months, I would have bought more chicken and through this venture, I will earn a good profit. This will act as my main source of income and will no longer seek casual jobs to earn money for use.

My life is different in that I can now afford to buy the basic household needs such as food with little difficulty. This was hard for me to accomplish in the past largely due to very little income got from my daily casual jobs. I also have more income from my new poultry keeping project.

In the next four months, I plan to have additional livestock in my herd. This is in preparation for my daughter who is joining form one in one years time. I will be able to sell the livestock then and clear her school fees in time.

My life in the last four months has really changed for the better. I am now actively engaged in poultry keeping which has seen me have more income for my family's needs. I have also been able to save up over the last four months to be able to buy a water tank putting to an end the long struggle of travelling for a long distance in search of water at a nearest stream. I have also been able to pay school fees much more easily than I did four months a go. My family is generally a happier family and this gives me so much joy as well.

In the next six months I expect my life to change in that I will be able to own a cow and this cow will help me pay school fees for my son who shall have joined high school then.

Currently, I do not walk a long distance to fetch water, I now have sufficient water for use which I harvest in my homestead. This has save me time and now I can get time to do other family activities like attending my garden.

My new goal is to buy a heifer for rearing so that in future I would have something to point and say Indeed this is what I bougth with the money I got from Give Directly.

The greatest Difference in my life is that now I have bought a water tank. I had saved monthly transfer which I got from Give Directly and when I got a good amount I withdrew the money and bought the tank. Now I cannot walk for long distance in search of water as I can harvest enough water for use.

In the next six months, I would expect to have bought a cow which will help me to feed my family though provision of milk for use and sale..
